Description
The SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Libica Cryptographic Module is a software-hybrid module that provides general purpose cryptographic algorithms to applications running in the user space of the underlying operating system through a C language application program interface (API). The module is composed by a software library, which provides the API and a subset of the cryptographic algorithms, and the Central Processor Assist for Cryptographic Functions (CPACF), which is part of the z16 processor and provides cryptographic algorithms implemented in firmware and hardware.
